Yeah, state-run liquor stores are a joke, and it always annoys me when I travel to states that have them. Was in South Carolina last year and a 5th of Wild Turkey 101 was $35. In California, that is a $20 bottle. Same higher prices on most bottles. Plus, I'm a believer that I should be able to buy my liquor, beer, wine, smokes, soda pop, and rolling papers all at the same corner store. Haha
